Sterile Processing Coordinator

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Overview, Responsibilities, Knowledge/Skills/Abilities, Required Qualifications, Licenses Required, Qualifications (Preferred), Working Conditions and Physical Demands, Physical Requirements. We need to use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting includes Overview (maybe About the role), Responsibilities, Knowledge/Skills/Abilities (could map to Skills), Required Qualifications (Qualifications), Licenses Required (maybe part of Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred) (maybe also Qualifications), Working Conditions and Physical Demands (maybe not a standard heading; we could treat as Requirements? But we have headings limited to given list. However we can still use other headings? The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we can use other headings? Probably we should stick to those headings where applicable. We have Overview -> About the role. Responsibilities -> Responsibilities. Knowledge/Skills/Abilities -> Skills. Required Qualifications -> Qualifications. Licenses Required could be part of Qualifications (maybe under same). Qualifications (Preferred) also Qualifications. Working Conditions and Physical Demands maybe could be Requirements? But Requirements heading is for list of duties/requirements/benefits. Could use Requirements for physical demands? Might be okay. However we need to avoid empty sections. We also need to remove boilerplate: EO/AA, Corporate Overview? The Corporate Overview is substantive? It describes organization; maybe we can include in About the role? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep the corporate overview content as part of About the role? The Overview already includes mission statement etc. The Corporate Overview is additional info about hospitals etc. It's substantive; we should keep it. Could be part of About the role. We need to remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, application instructions. There's no explicit application instructions. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll structure:

About the role

Overview text + Corporate Overview combined.

Responsibilities

• list each essential function
...

Skills

Knowledge / Skills / Abilities paragraph plus bullet list? The section includes a paragraph then list of abilities. We'll convert abilities to

• .

  Qualifications

  Required Qualifications text plus Licenses Required and Preferred Qualifications maybe combined.

  Could also list bullet points. We need to ensure we don't create sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless present. Not present. We also need a Requirements section? Not needed if we covered physical demands elsewhere. Could add a Requirements section for Working Conditions and Physical Demands and Physical Requirements. But we already have Qualifications; maybe we add a Requirements section for physical demands. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine physical demands into Qualifications or Skills? Better to have a Requirements section for physical demands. Let's add

  Requirements

  with the physical demands and working conditions. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Qualifications, Requirements. Now we need to extract content precisely. Overview paragraph: "Overview As a patient-focused organization, University of Utah Health exists to enhance the health and well-being of people through patient care, research and education. Success in this mission requires a culture of collaboration, excellence, leadership, and respect. University of Utah Health seeks staff that are committed to the values of compassion, collaboration, innovation, responsibility, integrity, quality and trust that are integral to our mission." Then later: "Corporate Overview: The University of Utah is a Level 1 Trauma Center and is nationally ranked and recognized for our academic research, quality standards and overall patient experience. Our five hospitals and eleven clinics provide excellence in our comprehensive services, medical advancement, and overall patient outcomes." Combine. Responsibilities list: The "Essential Functions" bullet list after "Responsibilities Essential Functions". We need each line as
• . Let's extract: - Prepares and sterilizes surgical instruments and supplies according to established procedures and techniques. - Assembles special procedure trays, surgical instrument trays and case carts. - Delivers sterilized supplies to, and retrieves used supplies and trays from hospital department and clinic locations. - Inspects and ensures proper functioning of instruments and equipment. - Facilitates the replenishment of low, broken or missing items. - Documents patient charges for the use of supplies and procedure trays. - Restocks labels and maintains inventory; submits requisitions; collects, distributes instrument trays, carts and facility medical supplies. - Verifies that equipment functions properly, and verifies the repair or replacement of defective equipment. - Sorts sets of instruments, trays and medical equipment and makes them available to sterile processing customers in a timely manner. - Assists with maintaining established departmental policies and procedures, objectives, quality improvement, safety, environmental and infection control standards. - Coordinates the daily activities of the other employees by monitoring performance, coordinating and scheduling work shifts, conducting training and in-services, monitoring quality control and safety processes. - Participates in and supports continuous quality improvement activities. - Serves as a subject matter expert in sterilization methods, instrumentation, sterilization standards. - Troubleshoots the instrumentation needs of the OR and other departments as necessary. - Serves as an expert in sterile processing database programs. - May order supplies, as needed. Now Skills/Knowledge/Abilities paragraph: "Knowledge / Skills / Abilities Ability to perform the essential functions of the job as outlined above.Demonstrated human relations and effective communication skills.Basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology and medical terminology.Ability to work independently without direction.Ability to follow written and verbal instructions.Ability to accurately detect blood that may remain on instruments before proceeding with the next step of sterilization.Ability to perform environmental maintenance duties and assist in maintaining inventory levels.Ability to work and communicate with clients and customers to satisfy their expectations.Demonstrated ability to acquire and utilize a comprehensive understanding of various sterilizers and sterilization methods; understand departmental supply requests and determine appropriate alternative supplies in the case of unavailability; prioritize workload and requests for supplies and trays.Ability to wear appropriate protective attire.Ability to be on-call, work weekends, holidays and rotate shifts as needed." We can split into sentences for
  • . Let's break by periods. List: - Ability to perform the essential functions of the job as outlined above. - Demonstrated human relations and effective communication skills. - Basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology and medical terminology. - Ability to work independently without direction. - Ability to follow written and verbal instructions. - Ability to accurately detect blood that may remain on instruments before proceeding with the next step of sterilization. - Ability to perform environmental maintenance duties and assist in maintaining inventory levels. - Ability to work and communicate with clients and customers to satisfy their expectations. - Demonstrated ability to acquire and utilize a comprehensive understanding of various sterilizers and sterilization methods; understand departmental supply requests and determine appropriate alternative supplies in the case of unavailability; prioritize workload and requests for supplies and trays. - Ability to wear appropriate protective attire. - Ability to be on-call, work weekends, holidays and rotate shifts as needed. Now Qualifications section: Required Qualifications: "Three (3) years of sterile processing experience. One (1) of the following: Certification as a Certified Instrument Specialist (CIS), Certified Endoscope Reprocessor (CER), or Certified Healthcare Leadership (CHL) from the Healthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA).Certified Flexible Endoscope Reprocessor (CFER), Certified Surgical Instrument Specialist (CSIS), or Certified Sterile Processing Management (CSPM) from the Certification Board of Sterile Processing & Distribution (CBSPD)." Licenses Required: "One of the followingHealthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA) certification and maintenance of certification.Current certification through the Board for Sterile Processing and Distribution (CBSPD).* Additional license requirements as determined by the hiring department." Qualifications (Preferred): Actually the heading "Qualifications (Preferred)" then "Working Conditions and Physical Demands" etc. Wait the text shows: "Qualifications (Preferred) Working Conditions and Physical Demands Employee must be able to meet the following requirements with or without an accommodation. This position involves intermediate working conditions in a healthcare setting that may exert up to 50 pounds any may consistently require lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, or otherwise moving objects. The incumbent may face exposure to potentially dangerous contaminated body fluids, used needles, razor blades, knives, bone shavings, pieces of glass, and other contaminants as part of the daily hazards of the job and must wear protective attire at all times. The position also requires standing or walking for long periods of time. Physical Requirements Carrying, Climbing, Color Determination, Crawling, Far Vision, Lifting, Listening, Manual Dexterity, Near Vision, Non Indicated, Pulling and/or Pushing, Reaching, Sitting, Speaking, Standing, Stooping and Crouching, Tasting or Smelling, Walking" It seems "Qualifications (Preferred)" heading is misplaced; actually there is no preferred qualifications listed; it's directly Working Conditions. So we treat that as Requirements. Thus we will not have a separate Qualifications (Preferred) section. Now Requirements section: combine Working Conditions and Physical Demands and Physical Requirements list. We need to preserve all substantive information. Working Conditions paragraph: "Employee must be able to meet the following requirements with or without an accommodation. This position involves intermediate working conditions in a healthcare setting that may exert up to 50 pounds any may consistently require lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, or otherwise moving objects. The incumbent may face exposure to potentially dangerous contaminated body fluids, used needles, razor blades, knives, bone shavings, pieces of glass, and other contaminants as part of the daily hazards of the job and must wear protective attire at all times. The position also requires standing or walking for long periods of time." Physical Requirements list: "Carrying, Climbing, Color Determination, Crawling, Far Vision, Lifting, Listening, Manual Dexterity, Near Vision, Non Indicated, Pulling and/or Pushing, Reaching, Sitting, Speaking, Standing, Stooping and Crouching, Tasting or Smelling, Walking" We can output as
    • each item. Now Qualifications section: include Required Qualifications, Licenses Required. We'll combine into a paragraph or list. Let's craft:

      Qualifications

      Required: Three (3) years of sterile processing experience and one of the following certifications: Certified Instrument Specialist (CIS), Certified Endoscope Reprocessor (CER), Certified Healthcare Leadership (CHL) from HSPA; Certified Flexible Endoscope Reprocessor (CFER), Certified Surgical Instrument Specialist (CSIS), or Certified Sterile Processing Management (CSPM) from CBSPD.

      Licenses: Current HSPA certification with maintenance, or current certification through the Board for Sterile Processing and Distribution (CBSPD); additional license requirements as determined by the hiring department.

      We need to preserve the exact wording? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Summarizing may be okay if we keep all detail? Combining may be okay as long as we don't lose info. But we should try to keep original phrasing. Could list as bullet points. Better to keep as
      • for each requirement. Let's do:

        Qualifications

        • Three (3) years of sterile processing experience.
        • One (1) of the following certifications:
          • Certified Instrument Specialist (CIS), Certified Endoscope Re
